Transforming financial markets: How FIA Tech built the Trade Data Network on AWS
This post discusses how FIA Tech, a leading technology provider for the exchange traded derivatives (ETD) industry, built the Trade Data Network (TDN) on Amazon Web Services (AWS). TDN is an industry initiative that provides a shared ledger of trading information to address the fragmentation and lack of transparency in ETD post-trade processing. The TDN initiative currently includes 17 banks/brokers and 40 investment managers and hedge funds with combined assets under management of more than $34 trillion.
Extracting insights from PubMed articles using Amazon Q Business
PubMed Central (PMC) is a leading resource for biomedical literature, offering a vast repository of full-text biomedical and life sciences journal articles. While PMC offers immense potential to accelerate scientific progress, inform evidence-based practice, and drive innovation in the biomedical and life sciences fields, the sheer volume of data presents a significant challenge. This is where Amazon Q Business comes in. It’s a powerful service designed to streamline the process of analyzing vast amounts of scientific literature and provide valuable insights efficiently.

Unlocking healthcare data with Amazon Q Business
Healthcare organizations face a significant challenge in making sense of the vast amounts of unstructured medical data trapped in patient records, lab results, and clinical guidelines. Approximately 97 percent of the 50 petabytes (PB) of healthcare data generated annually goes unused. This untapped resource could hold the key to improving patient care and saving valuable clinician time. Read this post learn how we built an innovative solution on Amazon Web Services (AWS) generative artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities that lets clinicians unlock this data treasure trove.
Operationalizing SAS on AWS with the American College of Radiology
The American College of Radiology (ACR) is a nonprofit organization and world leader supporting the radiology community. Founded in 1923, ACR represents more than 41,000 diagnostic and interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists. In this post, we share how ACR implemented a Statistical Analysis System (SAS) solution on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accomplish their big data processing and analysis needs, resulting in better cost optimization, performance improvements, and improved scalability.
Powering Singapore’s genomic research with AWS and Illumina
Precision medicine is a data-driven approach that considers individual variations in genetics to allow healthcare professionals to more accurately predict, prevent, diagnose, or treat different groups of people. As part of ongoing research to advance genomic research in Singapore, companies like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Illumina play a pivotal role in genome sequencing and analysis, and providing the tools and technology needed to analyse large-scale genomic datasets to help decode the risk factors for certain Asian-specific chronic diseases.
AWS Verified Access in a TIC 3.0 architecture
Federal agencies can use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to meet Trusted Internet Connections (TIC) 3.0 requirements. To facilitate this, AWS has published detailed architectural overlays that demonstrate how to effectively implement TIC 3.0 guidelines within AWS deployments. AWS Verified Access (AVA) is a cloud-based service that enables secure access to applications without requiring the use of a virtual private network (VPN). It evaluates each application request and gives users access to each application only when they meet the specified security requirements. AVA supports TIC 3.0 requirements in the areas of configuration management, centralized log management, strong authentication features, resilience, and policy enforcement.

Agile satellite communication ground systems with Amazon EC2 F2 FPGA solutions
In this post, we provide technical guidance to help satellite operators build, deploy, and analyze satcom waveforms on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Details are provided about the orchestration of multiple waveforms, including an example of one Amazon Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Image being swapped in for another. We analyze the FPGA utilization and metrics in Amazon CloudWatch and Amazon QuickSight, and validate network performance against system latency requirements. Finally, we recommend actions you can take to build an agile satcom strategy.
How to build a multilingual document summarization application using Amazon Bedrock
In this post, we showcase a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) application that can search and query across multiple Indian languages using the Cohere Embed – Multilingual model and Anthropic Claude 3 on Amazon Bedrock. This post focuses on Indian languages, but you can use the approach with other languages that are supported by the large language model.
Moving from AWS CodeCommit or Amazon S3 to external configuration repositories for Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS
Organizations deploying the Landing Zone Accelerator (LZA) on AWS solution, provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS), often face challenges in managing and versioning their configuration files. In this post, we explore how to use GitHub as a configuration file repository for the Landing Zone Accelerator on AWS solution, allowing better version control, collaboration, and automation in your LZA deployments.
How Amazon Bedrock helped the UK’s Governors for Schools generate meaningful insights
Governors for Schools is a charity operating across England and Wales to find and place volunteers on school and academy governing boards. Amazon Web Services (AWS) has worked with Governors for Schools by providing financial support, in addition to more than 100 AWS employees applying to take on school governance roles, providing much needed technical expertise in education. But in this post, we explain how Governors for Schools used Amazon Bedrock to process unstructured documents and generate meaningful insights into UK schools.
